I was just watching this Lost Broadway Treasures thing(I think) on PBS, in the show they mentioned only 7 people have ever won both Tony and Oscar for the same roles they played in both Broadway and film. Two were mentioned, Joel Grey as MC in Cabaret, Yul Bryner as King in King and I, and I beleive Rex Harrison as Professor in My Fair Lady would be another, anybody know who the other 4 may be?

There are more than seven:

Jose Ferrer for "Cyrano de Bergerac" (1947 Tony/1950 Oscar)

Shirley Booth for "Come Back Little Sheba" (1950/1953)

Yul Brynner for "The King and I" (1952/1956)

Rex Harrison for "My Fair Lady" (1957/1964)

Anne Bancroft for "The Miracle Worker" (1960/1962)

Paul Scofield for "A Man for All Seasons" (1962/1966)

Jack Albertson for "The Subject Was Roses" (1965/1968)

Joel Grey for "Cabaret" (1967/1973)

Added bonus: Lila Kedrova for "Zorba the Greek" (1964 Oscar/1984 Tony)
